The Naturally Inspired Stamp of Approval Blog Hop Day 2 & Giveaway

Hi everyone!

Welcome to day 2 of the Naturally Inspired Collection blog hop! You should have arrived here from Deepti's blog. The complete list is below if you get lost along the way.

The collection goes up for sale on Wednesday, June 7th at
10am. StampNation members that are on the wait list will be notified first (a perk of being a member!) and then the rest of the wait list will be notified.

**The box is only available while supplies last.**

Make sure that you are on the Wait List to be notified when it is available.

The box contains products that can be used together to create many
different cards. They can also be used along with products you already
have in your supplies! Awesome!! I have had a blast creating cards using this collection.

One thing that keeps me "Naturally Inspired" is nature. I am always amazed at the amazing ways God blesses us with His creativity, using sunrises, sunsets and all the amazing colors during the different seasons!

Now onto my cards...My first card features the Wild Garden & Birds of a Feather Stamp set.

I absolutely LOVE using the images in the Wild Garden stamp set as silhouettes. Especially, stamped over a sponged sunset background. I only used three of the 9 images in the set. I can see myself reaching for this set over and over again. I thought the sentiment from the Birds of a Feather stamp set went well with my little scene.

My second card features the Medallion Mix-up & Simply the Best stamp sets.

The Medallion Mix-up stamp set is a big one, with SO many options for creating amazing medallions in many different colors. I fell in love with the biggest one. I love that it can be the focal point of your card, yes, it's that big. I stamped the best right over top of the stamped medallions and created a fun border using the diamond stamp in the Simply the Best stamp set.

It's now time to start hopping along, but before you go make sure to leave a comment on each stop along the hop letting us know what inspires you?

One winner will be chosen at random from EACH day's comments and
announced on June 9th on Catherine's blog. The winners will win their box and
if you have already purchased it, you will be issued a Gift Certificate worth $100 towards a future purchase.

Hi Kristie, I'm with you, on the infinite variety of colours and shades in the sky, depending on the time of year and the time of day, and the state of the weather! Always something beautiful going on, if you look up...I really love the silhouette effect of those wild-flowers stamped in black. Your medallion card is so bold and graphic! I can see how playing with the different combinations of circles would be addictive. Thanks for the inspiration!

Kristie as always I just love your style. The sunset silhouette card is fabulous and I can also see myself making quite a few cards using the wild garden set as a silhouette and changing the sunset colours slightly.

I've always thought God is a great artist. Your first card reflects that. It's beautiful. What inspires me? Florals....the colors, the shapes and the scents. Yesterday, I stopped to smell the roses at the grocery store parking lot. Mmmmmm. Lovely.

Your blending of colors on the first card it so beautiful...always love silhouettes on a blended background. Your chosen colors along with the black and white graphic pattern and accents really shows off the beauty of the medallion.

You really used the pictures tomake a gorgeous background forthe flower. Stamping themin the black really makes thecolors glow. Love how youcaught the dark on the side ofthe rainbow. I need to startlooking at nature more often toget ideas for my designs.thanks for sharing.

These are beauteous! I have simply run out of amazing adjectives to describe all of the beautiful cards the design team has created with this set. And, there is still one more day to go! Better get my thesaurus, and make sure I am on the wait list.

As always, I'm having a hard time trying to sit on my hands not to spend more money on stamps when I already have so many as yet unused supplies. I am so loving the medallion set AND the card you've created using this set.

Love the wild garden set, especially as silhouettes like you did. Stunning against the background. I am inspired by the color combinations in nature as well. The detail God gave the birds and animals in their patterns and colors is amazing!

I always love your cards and designs. The simple way you put things together, but the complexity of how it's done. Your blending is amazing on that first card. I think I need to watch just how you do it! I can't wait to try these new products. It will be a happy birthday to ME kind of gift. I'm inspired by so much around me, both inside and outside.
